No camera,
BUT
A couple spring to mind
A Royal Air Force SH5 Belfast doing "autoland" trials at Brum [EGBB/BHX] in 1970.
Touchdown on R/w 33 is north of the R/w 33/24 intersection. A/c lands and engages "reverse" for a few seconds [memory hazy as to how long], puts power on and rotates in the "turning circle" and climbs at 3.5 degrees
A PIA B742, Manch-Islamabad [EGCC-OPRN] departs r/w 06
[Uphill, warm night, oh yes...the INBOUND freight is still on the a/c ]
A "few" tiles were dislodged on climbout
we aim to please, it keeps the cleaners happy
